I personally can not commiserate with you about the current state of affairs. In real life, I am busy consulting with others about mechanisms to change law enforcement and criminal codes. In policy, one important mechanism for change are special interest groups who know which levers to pull for their desired results. Consulting takes up way to much of my time, and I do not have time to lament about the status quo.

Good luck to you!

Okay okay I'm not seeing them on the list. INTEGRAL addition is Trouble Funk, tracks like drop the bomb, let's get small, pump me up. Something! Anything!

Aside from that Beefeater and Marginal Man would be good additions.

I’m sure I saw them open for Blonde Redhead and forgot the name of the band, but remembered the sound and something about kitchen appliances so this tracks

I wouldn't say "always." My last time through took maybe 45 minutes total from deboarding, 10 of which was waiting for my wife to get through the non-Global Entry line. Landed around 7:30PM on a Saturday.

But yeah, I agree with the greater sentiment here.

She’s not wrong- they could use some more people. And things like DNA testing, finger prints, cell site results, tower dumps, and other forensics take weeks to months to come back which doesn’t help. If we had people join up and police like the WAVE unit does in MD and VA we might also get more people but that would require accepting some potential liability.

And the council could help by passing some laws allowing for extended detentions when probable cause is found in a preliminary hearing for carjacking and gun possession. The guys doing these are often doing them in sprees and having them off the street even for an extra week or two will slow down the pace of carjackings and car thefts.

Check out club Flash on Florida Ave, it’s my go to for dance music. 3 floors each with multiple DJs, I also recommend downloading the Resident Advisor app (RA). It’ll tell you about various DJs performing in your area it narrows it down to which state or country you’re in!
